Is There A Fish Food List?

  • #1
I was wondering where I could find a list of all the types of food you can feed your fish excluding actual fish food. Fruits veggies and are there any others?
Has anyone ever tried feeding Black or Green olives? Potatoes? onions? Bananas? Pepperoncinis?
I feed my fish Cucumbers and ZucchinI but would like to broaden their pallet if possible

All input greatly appreciated

I think it comes down to the individual fish some eat a large variety others won't eat any. I would stay away from starchy foods like potatoes they will cloud your water pretty bad. I have had great success with zucchini, cucumber, squash, lettuce. I have had mild success with strawberries (made my Albino BN go a red tinge), pumpkin (made Albino BN go very orange) apple (BN not interested but severums loved it) cooked carrots (not the fishes favourite but also made BN go more orange).

Tried peeled grapes and water melon but had no real takers.

I think that's all I've tried
 
WTFish?

earthworms, blood worms, tubifex worms (black worms), cockroach larva, fly adults and larva (id stick to wingless fruit flies). why all the fruit and veggies, there are only a few that fishkeepers swear by, popeye type spinach, romaine lettuce, zucchini, cucumber, and very small amounts of orange bits for goldfish on rare occasions. you are reinventing a list of essentially of what not to feed. this reminds me of the vegan lion from Futurama

They did some nibbling on the carrot, I'll leave it there overnight for the nerite maybe, I'm starting to wonder about the sugary content. Hmm

Some of us are still learning...sorry I didn't come out of the womb with everything I'll ever need to know about fish keeping

I think banana would make a big mess in the tank
